Balthazar Beauregard's Big Top Bonanza (Circus)

Each location that the circus moves to will have different audiences who have different likes. To find the exact location, look for the circus symbol on the world map (see the table with locations below). Some of these audiences will even appreciate specific types of costumes that you wear. The best part about performing is that you will not have to provide any props, other than yourself. So, get your costume and makeup on and head over to the Ticket Vendor.

Once you are at the circus, you can talk to Balthazar the Ringmaster for an overview of the area. If you have performed previously and lost your costume pieces, you can talk to him to reclaim them. If you want to leave at any point, just tear your Circus ticket and you will be transported out of the circus area. If you log off while inside the circus area, you will automatically leave.

Agility Performance:

Objective: Perform tricks or juggle items while on the tightrope.

To start the Agility performance, enter the changing room just south of Balthazar and you will be outfitted with an acrobat costume and appear on the high wire. You can speak to the Agility assistant to receive instructions for the performance if you wish or just get started.

By clicking on the icons which appear on the Minigame interface, you must either perform tricks or juggle items. Each trick or juggling act has a suggested level and depending on your level, the higher this is, the more chance you will have of failing it.

Strategy:

Reward-Focused:

When aiming for points an costumes, the best method is to alternate 99 tricks, spells, and shooting spots. Before starting and in between actions, perform an emote to maximize your points. If you do not have high levels in these skills, then do the actions the audience shout out loud.

Agility:

1. Emote
2. Level 99 trick
3. Emote
4. Level 99 juggle
5. Repeat this 4 times

Magic:

1. Emote
2. Level 99 alchemy spell
3. Emote
4. Level 99 teleportation spell
5. Repeat this 4 times

Ranged:

1. Emote
2. Level 99 bullseye shoot
3. Emote
4. Level 99 poppinjay shoot
5. Repeat this 4 times

Firemaking (Fire-Breathing):

1. Emote
2. Level 95 solution
3. Emote
4. Level 91 solution
5. Repeat this 2 times

Firemaking (Fire Poi):

1. Emote
2. Level 95 trick
3. Emote
4. Level 91 trick
5. Repeat this 2 times

Thieving:

1. Emote
2. Level 90 trick
3. Emote
4. Level 80 trick
5. Repeat this 3 times

Experience focused:

For maximum experience gain from each performance, you must peform each action only once. You receive experience for a certain action only once. If you fail that action, you miss out on the experience for it. It is recommended to do 5 actions higher and 5 lower than your actual level to ensure you successfully perform that action. To find out which actions are the best suited for your levels, check the experience each action yields in the tables above.

During the Agility performance, you will only receive experience for performing tricks requiring different skill levels. This means that if you perform a level 90 trick followed by a level 90 juggle, you will only receive the experience for the first action. Even though you can do two magical spells at each level, each level of item counts as one action. For example, even though there are two level 10 items, doing a spell on each will only gain you the experience of one level 10 spell. On the ranged course both areas count as one for your experience. This means if you do a level 50 action on the bullseye, you will not get the experience for doing a level 50 action on the other poppinjays.

Hints And Tips:

• If you fail an action, you will not receive experience for what trick even if you successfully perform that trick afterwards. Putting an emote or another action between keeps it from lowering your points overall.
  
  
• Never repeat any action or emote. If you do repeat an performance action, you do not get XP for it again. However, it does count as one of the ten actions you can perform and you will still receive points for successfully completing that action multiple times.
  
  
• Always perform 10 emotes during a performance. Make sure to do this before the last performance action so to maximize your points.
  
  
• Listen to the audience, who are shouting out loud what they want. This will improve your increase your points. The audience has no problems with asking for the same level trick more than once.
  
  
• If you have high enough skill levels, listening to the audience will not increase you score in comparison to alternating between the two highest level tricks you can do. Be warned that this comes with a risk of failure, which may give you less points.
  
  
• Take your chances, even though actions are marked to be successful for levels higher than you have, you might still accomplish those performance actions. You will get more points for taking a risk. Players with level 70+ in Agility, Magic, Ranged or Firemaking will be able to successfully perform the higest level tricks most of the time.
  
  
• Bring any skill raising potions and stat-boosting clothes to help with your performances. The extra boost increases the chance of not failing an action.
  
  
• Take your time. You can speak to the assistants in between actions to ask how the audience thinks of you. You may also bank in between the Agility/Magic/Ranged performances if you need more stats boosting items or clothing.
  
  
• If you cannot remember which magical areas you can do which spells, then listen to the audience to refresh your memory. They will shout out a spell and an item, telling you which spells you may use.
